Chapter 1 · The suspects

You’ve suspected everyone.

Every parent of a kid with eczema keeps the same mental corkboard.

🥛

The milk

cut it twice — never proved it

🐱

The cat

poor Whiskers

🧺

The new detergent

switched brands 3 times

🌡️

The heat wave

or was it the AC?

🏠

Grandma's carpet

she swears it's clean

Guessing one suspect at a time is how whole months disappear.

Chapter 2 · The evidence

Two minutes a day. That’s the whole job.

Log quickly, capture context, and let the case build itself — designed so a busy parent can do it one-handed, even on the hard days.

Who’s your suspect?

Trust your gut — that’s what every parent does at 2am.

Synthetic demo data. The real app runs statistical checks — and won’t call something a pattern unless the evidence clears it.

Chapter 4 · The method

How we investigate — and why we’re careful.

Sealed records

The evidence never leaves the building.

  • On-device by design. Your tracking data is stored locally on your iPhone. We run no server and never receive it.
  • No accounts, no trackers. No third-party analytics, ad, or tracking SDKs. The app collects no data about you.
  • iOS encrypted. Protected by Apple’s iOS sandbox and device-level encryption.
  • The one exception: optional weather sends your approximate location to Apple’s WeatherKit. Skip it and enter weather manually if you prefer.
Unverified lead

We’d rather miss a lead than accuse an innocent food.

  • Delayed windows. Food reactions can take 24–72 hours to show; a bath or moisturizer often helps the next morning. Each factor is checked over the window that fits it — not just same-day.
  • Double-checked against chance. Eczema has natural ups and downs that can fake a pattern. Every hunch is statistically tested before you ever see it.
  • Look-alikes filtered. A factor that merely tags along with the real one — the restaurant on every peanut day — gets held back, not blamed.
  • What you see are screening-level leads to discuss with your child’s doctor — never a diagnosis, treatment, or prediction.

Good for appointments

Export a clean CSV or PDF summary — symptom history, adherence, and pattern notes — and walk into your pediatrician or dermatologist visit with the whole case file.

Chapter 5 · The first case

Case #001: Enzo.

Jorge, founder of EczemaTrack
Enzo’s dad

I built EczemaTrack for my son, Enzo. For months we couldn’t work out what set off his flare-ups — until I started logging everything, day after day. The patterns pointed to things we’d never suspected: certain clothing fabrics, and being around dogs. We brought those clues to his doctor, and a blood test confirmed he was allergic. That’s the whole idea behind EczemaTrack — it can’t diagnose anything, but by spotting patterns across days it surfaces the clues worth asking your doctor about.

— Jorge, founder of EczemaTrack

the first case is why all the others exist.

Chapter 6 · Notes from other parents

Asked at every follow-up.

Is my child's data really private?

Yes. Everything you log is stored only on your iPhone — there are no accounts and no servers, so we never receive or see your data. The one exception is the optional weather feature, which sends your approximate location to Apple's WeatherKit to fill in conditions; you can skip it and enter weather manually.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Tracking, the body map, insights, and exports all work fully offline on your device. Only the optional weather lookup needs an internet connection.

How much does it cost?

EczemaTrack is free to download and track with. Automatic pattern insights are part of Pro — $6.99/month or $39.99/year, with a 7-day free trial. You can cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.

Is this medical advice?

No. EczemaTrack is an informational tracking tool, not a medical device. It surfaces statistical patterns from your own logs — leads to discuss with your child's doctor, not a diagnosis, treatment, or prediction. Always consult a healthcare provider before changing care or diet.

Can I share the history with our doctor?

Yes. From the More tab you can export a CSV file and a PDF summary report to bring to your pediatrician or dermatologist.

What do I need to run it?

An iPhone running iOS 17.2 or later. It's designed for a parent or guardian to track one child's eczema.

Your kid’s case won’t solve itself.
